 PVC and the environment?

 Recycling – PVCs are rarely recycled, probably less than .5% of all PVC is recycled. Due to all the additives used to produce PVC, it is nearly impossible to initiate large scale recycling of PVC products.

 Dioxins – Manufacturing PVC poses major health concerns as dioxin (the most potent carcinogen known), ethylene dichloride and vinyl chloride are released. Dioxins are associated with cancer, endocrine disruption, endometriosis, neurological damage, birth defects, impaired child development, and reproductive and immune system damage.

 The endlife of PVC is also a concern as it releases dioxins into the ground, water, and air.

 Phthalates – Phthalates are additives used to create flexible PVC. Phthalates have been in the media spotlight recently and have been associate with the risk of cancer and kidney and liver damage. PVCs are therefore not used in food or packaging related products.
